• Referee: Fixes the issue with the referree banning legit players. (with the "Fiber Terimnate" error)
• (bug introduced in 2008-10-07) Players were banned because of "coherence check" in some multilaps challenges.
• CupMode: Make sure the scores stay properly ordered, when a winner changes to spectator mode.
• CupMode: Sometimes players were still included in the race for the second place after having won the match.
• Referee: Better timeout to avoid kicking referees at the end of a race in rounds mode
• Added some checks to detect players faking their logins. (will only report the abuse to the master server for now)
• Add some infos in the log when a player is banned.
• Referee: Big challenges with heavy mediatracker use were locking the sever in the podium when a referee was enabled.

TrackMania Nations/United Forever v2.11.17 Changes:

• Referee: when a player disconnected after making a new score, the score wasn't validated and wasn't reset and the server blocked in the podium. (added a timeout on the server, and fixed the client - check the end of the message)
• some more coherence checks to detect simple cheats. (But nothing replaces referees!)
• CupMode: added an optional parameter to NextChallenge() and RestartChallenge() to allow keeping the current match scores.
• CupMode: fixed SetWarmUp() (SetWarmUp(false) did reset all the current scores, and SetWarmUp(true) didn't restart counting the number of warmup runs from zero)
• CupMode: don't overwrite scores at the end of the warmup. (ie any call to ForceScore() were previously useless during warmup)
• CupMode: added CheckEndMatchCondition(), to help knowing whether the cup mode match is over or will switch to an other map, without having to reimplement the rules in the plugins.
• Laps mode: added a new header in the replays: , to help making sense out of the validation replays saved in laps mode.
• The player tags were broken when the P2P was disabled on the server.
• ForceSpectator() now also respects ladder limits.
• new method GetLadderServerLimits()
• SetForcedSkins()/GetForcedSkins(): new methods to help people doing F1 or Monster trucks, ... competitions have everybody use a "good" skin. It allows to have an explicit list of allowed skins and replacement skins.)
• SetForcedMusic() can now take either an url or a filename to a file on the server (relative to Gamedata folder)
• GetDetailedPlayerInfo().Skins.Environnement now contains the environment name, rather than always 'Vehicles'
• fixed rare crash when build a replay.
• bug workaround: after ~45 days, the time overflows (a bit like the Y2K bug) and the sever starts doing weird stuff... It will now quit preventively instead.

v2.11.16 fixes:

• The scores sorting was broken, most notably in laps mode.

Main changes since previous fix:
